Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

’We have to trust him…’

Ye Jian looked at the island that was getting farther and farther away from her. She retracted her gaze and said in a light voice, ”I know we have to trust him. I just… feel sorry for him.”

He wasn’t a god. He needed people to love him too. Her heart went out to him for having to face so many difficulties. When doing anything, he always rushed to the forefront.

He wanted to protect her, but she… wanted to protect him too.

Azalea could tell that something was wrong, but he did not know what. Azure Bird’s heart ached for Q King? Why did it sound strange?

For a moment, Azalea didn’t know what to say.

However, he knew that Azure Bird wasn’t at ease now. She was still worried about Q King facing the arms dealer alone. Hence, from the island to the port, she kept talking about Xia Jinyuan’s matters in the army and what he did on missions. Every matter was about how he had brushed shoulders with death. Every story made Ye Jian’s heart tremble.

”Q King used his strength to tell us that there’s no one else in the Xueyu unit who can be captain. He’s the captain. Everything he says is an order to us, and we have no choice but to obey.

”There’s no point in feeling sorry for him. You can’t stay with Q King. It’s pointless to worry. You can’t reach out and help him. But Q King isn’t fighting alone. J5 and the others aren’t at the base either.

Maybe they’re on the same mission as Q King.”

He had already said so much. If Azure Bird still could not relax, there was really no other way.

Although he did not know if J5 and the others, who were not at the base, were really on a mission with Q King, he could only say this to comfort Azure Bird.

White Crane, who was maneuvering the speedboat, frowned when he saw that Azure Bird was still not at ease. ”Azure Bird, we’re on a mission ourselves. Before we’re done protecting the engineers and before we return to the country, our mission is not over yet. You can’t be distracted by the appearance of Q King, understand?

”You have your mission, and Q King has his mission. It’s the greatest comfort to each other that each completes their mission.”

His words made Ye Jian’s heart turn cold. Yes, they weren’t done protecting the engineers. She was still on a mission!

She had made a particularly serious mistake. She had been swayed by personal feelings!

Realizing this, Ye Jian’s face turned pale. How could she neglect her mission because of her personal feelings?

Captain Xia had once told her very clearly that on the battlefield, they were no longer lovers but comrades. Their personal feelings could not affect the entire battle.

How could she forget his teachings? How could she let him down?!

”I’m sorry, I was wrong!” Ye Jian was willing to admit her mistake. She was a soldier on a mission now, not Captain Xia’s girlfriend. She could not be controlled by personal feelings!

If she failed the mission because of her personal feelings, even she would look down on herself, let alone Captain Xia.

Her apology earned a tolerant smile from White Crane and Azalea.

”You didn’t do anything wrong. No one would feel good if they encountered such a thing for the first time. It’s very normal. You feel sorry for Q King, but actually, we feel the same way too. It’s just that as veterans, we know better how to hide our emotions. We know that as soldiers, we should act like soldiers!”

White Crane comforted Ye Jian so sincerely. It was not perfunctory.
